However, fewer people know Japanese makeup. In fact, Japan has some of the best makeup products in the market, and some of the most popular skincare brands have their own makeup lines. So, here we introduce you to 6 Japanese makeup brands you may have never heard about before.

This high-end brand was launched in 1992 by Kanebo Cosmetics with a focus on skincare. However, in 2007, they launched their first makeup line, and it is currently one of the most popular Japanese makeup brands.

Founded in 1999, this brand is currently one of the most luxurious brands in the Japanese market.

Especially formulated for sensitive skin, Acseine offers a wide range of makeup products. They started in the 1970s with medical foundations that protect people with sensitive skin from getting allergies by avoiding the inclusion of any harmful or skin irritating substances, such as fragrances, in their ingredients. They are one of the first companies that adopted this concept, and their perfect veil (PV) technology is based on preventing the pigment, which is one of the main reasons for allergies caused by makeup products, from being in direct contact with the skin. A smart way to try their products is by getting the Acseine all-day clear bright base to form a barrier between your skin and the rest of your makeup.

Mimura is a newly founded brand that was launched in 2015 with the aim of promoting women natural beauty. In Mimura, they use high quality, gentle ingredients in their products.
